One of the benefits of attending the SOAPA meeting is becoming a next year committee member. Some of those may not consider this a benefit but it really doesn't require that much involvement. At the meeting in Branson we sent around a form to have each participant suggest a meeting location for 2010. Right now those locations are on the list and will be posted to the board for voting and comments.
Of course you can always suggest location on this message board and we always appriciate feedback on the locations that are being balloted soon.

May I suggest: 1) Page, Arizona (KPGA)...with a house-boat party on Lake Powell.
2) Ashville, North Carolina...fresh mountain air in a Victorian town. 3) Charleston, South Carolina...fun town. 4) The Cessna plant in Kansas...a Skymaster home coming. 5) Memphis...home of the Blues, with casinos close by in Mississippi. 6) Savannah, GA...southern hospitality. 7) Roswell, NM...for the UFO festival. 8) Indianapolis, IN...fun for days on end. 9) Louisville, KY...too much to do and never enough time. 10) Moab, UT...Colorado river, Arches park, Canyonlands Park, and 4x4 Mecca |

I will second Wichita. Skymasters were made there, Yingling is a service center ( tour ), FlightSafety is there (tour), maybe we can persuade them to make a Skymaster course like all the other stuff they teach there!, there is a really nice hotel on the field (ICT), no cars needed, we can tour the Cessna plant, either the one at ICT, or fly to Independance. I have family in Kansas........need any more reasons!! : )

This just came in.
Sir, I wanted to contact you and inquire about Dayton, Ohio-the birthplace of aviation-as the site for a future convention. Are there steps to follow in order to submit a proposal? Ron Eifert Dayton Convention and Visitors Bureau 800.221.8235 x 284 |

Herb,
Thanks for posting the comments and pix - Branson was really a great time, and it was fabulous to catch up with you and other old friends, and to make new friends as well! We had a good flight to Memphis, a fantastic time taking in the Memphis Museum of Natural History and on Beale St. later (as usual) with Mary and Dennis Murphy, and after dodging some convectivity, a smooth flight back to Daytona Beach. Paul

I doubt we go back to Las Vegas for a while. It was the most poorly attended meeting of all meetings. 3 aircraft and 9 pilots. I really thought Vegas would have been a good spot but it did not work out that way.

Commodore Aerospace
At the meeting in Branson Don Nieser was a planned speaker. Don is the owner of Commodore Aerospace in Oklahoma City. Because of weather Don was not able to fly over to the meeting to present the information on his company and services. Attached below is the presentation that Don had for the meeting. Don sent me this and I see it appropriate to share with the membership.
Don has a great inventory of parts for our aircraft. I purchased several items from him during my recent refurbishment project. Don is a huge asset to our world and he is available to help with just a phone call. His contact information is posted on this website and on the last slide of the attached presentation.

It is my full intention to attend. My Skymaster is still under maintenance and has been for a while. But we'll see how she's flying in the next couple of months. I'm looking forward to the next one...where ever it is. |
